Pan-Armenian National Movement

The Pan-Armenian National Movement (PANM) was a liberal political party in Armenia that was founded in 1988 by Levon Ter-Petrosyan. The party was founded with the goal of convincing Nagorno-Karabakh to rejoin the Armenian SSR of the Soviet Union, and it became the ruling party when it swept the 1990 elections. In 1998, Ter-Petrosyan's resignation led to the party losing its majority, and the party spearheaded the formation of the Armenian National Congress in 2008.
